FANTASTIC!

Loved every single second of this story. They really need to get you to write some scenes into future episodes. :):):):)

The hug was unexpected, but a VERY nice addition. Leave it to you to pick up on the fact that Sam didn't hug Dean back. *lol*

Ending the story with humor is always nice, and I always appreciate the hopefulness that comes with your endings. So so Good!

great job I hope that Sam can get Dean out of the deal b/c its not supernatural without him *cries b/c of deal*

Great dialogue! I absolutely loved it.

This was great. I loved their talk and fierce loyalty to one another. And the little lighthearted parts were sweet as well. I finished reading this with a smile on my face.

"“Just be grateful I grabbed a towel.”

“Dude! I do not need that mental image, man."

I do! LOL. *sighs contently*

Again, I really love the way you ended this one. I think the endings of stories are often the most neglected parts because they are the hardest, in my opinion; a lot rides on the way stories are wrapped up and pulled together. Yet, you do it exceptionally well! And I appreciate the way this one ends on such a hopeful and positive note. It's a bit of a battle-cry which seems fitting. Great job!

Loved it! Re-reading last night I thought this might be yours (ended up in the stash without a byline) This was actually the second story I put in the stash. I loved Dean's reaction-so human and then Sam's understanding. And girl-the hug-it was the one I wanted at the end of the show! It makes a lovely prequel to Priceless, in fact now that I know it is yours those two are going into the binder right together the way they should be read! Lovely! :)

Ok so I had to go back 407 or some stories to find this... yeah yeah i know i could have just gone to your profile but i wanted to find everything i missed while on vacation... LOL great job on this one... i cant wait for season 3!

aw very cute! i loved it!

Aw. I read this story last night and I'm actually tearing up looking at it again! So great! Loved how Dean needed to see Sam. Loved that Sam realized how Dean must have suffered. And - my god- when Sam hugged Dean - great. Very moving scene. Another great story. Thank you!

Very nicely done. You did a good job of keeping the brothers in character and even the hug was believable-and wonderful. I love that you balanced the brothers nicely, showing that they love and look out for each other equally.

great job.

I really enjoyed the story. I think you did a very good job of staying true to the Winchester brothers and how they would react to everything that happened. Keep up the good work.

I was hoping you would write a tag for this episode.

I knew you would do a good job of capturing the brothers love and giving us hope. I have not been able to read any of the other authors tags except for three as everyone is determined to kill Dean.

Just finished watching the live repeat of this episode, unsure why, since I have it taped. Wonderful episode, yet I did handle it better this time (no yelling at the TV as Dean makes the deal.)

You did a great job with your story. I too have wondered how long it will be, when Dean can wake up and not wonder if Sam is still dead.

I love Dean but had to smile at Sam's comment, "Just be grateful I grabbed a towel."

This is why I watch the show, the brothers and their love for one another. (Also watching the wonderful work from Jensen and Jared.) 'Because when it came down to it, the simple truth was neither of them could face losing the other.' 'There was simply no way round it. Sam would find a way to save Dean.'

"...Looks like we'll have to find a way out of this that doesn't involve EITHER of us getting sacrified - deal?" Hope Mr. Kripke is thinking along the same lines.

Thanks for the additional hug. We finally get a hug in episode 21, but Sam is dead and doesn't know Dean is there. Than we get a second hug in this episode and Sam doesn't know why Dean is hugging him and breaks it off. 'Feeling the warmth and affection in Sam's embrace, revelling in the simple fact of his brother being alive that was slowly pushing aside the agonising memory of holding Sam as he died,..'

I could picture them taking a few days just to relax and just be together.

I hope that Dean and Sam do hold onto the thought 'Time and again they'd faced death and destruction and made it through - together. And they'd do it again.'

Perfect ending.

Sorry I got carried away typing. It was perfect timing on your part. I just finished watching the episode and read your tag.

I'll look for your next story.

Until than, thanks for sharing and take care.

Cool story, as always. And there never enough tag on that wonderful episode! Like the real hug by the way.

I loved it, as I love all your fics SNG! I loved it when Dean woke up on his own - I love they way you portrayed his fear that it had all been a dream and that Sam was really dead. I loved the way Sam came out of the Bathroom all anxious and I love the way the realisation came to Sam of what Dean had thought when he awoke in the room on his own. I particularly loved the continuation of the hug that we saw in AHBL pt2, We waited so long for that hug and you made it that little bit better.

I'm just like you, I can't wait for the episodes to show here, I HAVE to watch online - I really do have to, I have no choice in the matter, I have no say in it at all! I just have to watch, but I also watch it again when it's on ITV2.

Thanks so much for this superior tag - It was lovely!
